Expect "Change our profile pages back" protest groups any second...

Facebook is soon to roll out some major changes to its layout.

The refresh to member's profile pages will mean you won't be able to see a member's entire profile on one screen, but will need to click through to tabs to see different sections.

Presumably in a bid to boost page clicks, personal information will be on one tab of a profile, whereas the "wall" will be on a separate tab while a third tab will link to photos.

Extra tabs will be customisable and members will be able to create them for their favourite applications.

"As more and more information is available on Facebook - more photo albums, more applications, and more history - we've realized that Profiles have become cluttered and slow as a result", Facebook says.

"We're trying to make profiles more simple and relevant, while still giving you control over your profile and how you express yourself."
